Get caught up for tonight! Star Wars has let a lot of people down over the last few years (me included), but The Acolyte is special and reminds me of that magical 2017-2019 energy of hope and speculation run wild. Wanna know why? ⬇️
The end of TROS (ok, every non-Reylo scene in TROS) destroyed any goodwill I had towards Star Wars.
Is it worth trying again with Acolyte (& And or & maybe High Republic)?
I can't promise anything, but I've found a lot of joy in some of the High Republic stories (Convergence by Zoraida Córdova is a great place to start) and I feel like the Acolyte provides the same underlying hope, agency, and optimism for the characters as TLJ. Still not okay with TROS, either.
